the small the "company"

There was a time when I refused to travel with a group of photographers or just a group, because it was clear that not only would I not take good pictures, but I would not enjoy the trip, I would not be able to feel it, it would be in vain. I have said many times that a place is only felt without people around. And so it happened the last time I traveled with other people, this trip was a complete disaster, so now I know for sure that the company must be small😂
By the way, I'm not sure one week is enough. If one decided to travel that distance (by car, of course, I don't think public transport is arranged in these places at all, as found out from my other experiences recently), just to travel from start to finish, yes, but to go in and explore, to walk around, to spend the night... most of all, to feel the place, the places... I don't know much it will be needed.
